001 Structured knowledge of legislation

The law of a country, as one structure.

Every act split to the paragraph, every past edition kept, every amendment and reference linked. Language models read it and cite the exact line.

002 How it is built

From the official registry to a structure.

01

Collect

Every act from the official registry, in each official language, refreshed daily. Scanned acts are read by OCR.

02

Structure

Acts split into chapters, articles, parts, points and table rows. Each keeps its official address.

03

Link and date

Amendments, repeals and references become dated links, so the law reads as it stood on any day.

04

Assemble by actor

Rules are grouped by who they bind, under which conditions and thresholds, and where actors overlap.

003 Reassembled by its actors

Law is not text. It is who must do what.

Every rule is read into the same parts: who, must or may, what, only if, or else. Then rules are regrouped around the actor they bind, across every act that binds it.

“Banks are prohibited from granting loans secured by their own shares.”
whoBanks must notgrant a loan only ifsecured by their own shares sourceLaw on banks, art. 63, part 5

Every rule in force that binds a bank: the laws on banks and the Central Bank's regulations, counted once per official language. One rule can carry several parts at once; rules that only define a term or hold table data are not shown. Hover a part to read a real rule of that kind.

004 Cubicles

The links are not for speed. They make a chain.

The law is one cube of linked rules. A company keeps its own policies, procedures and products in a cubicle of the same shape, and every clause in it is linked to the exact rules it relies on.

1The cube holds the public law: each node a rule with its address, edition and date, each edge a link between rules. 2A cubicle is a small cube of a company's own documents in the same format. Its clauses link to the rules they rely on. 3When a rule changes, the change follows the links to exactly the clauses that depend on it, the same way every time.

Deterministic

Built by rules, not by a model. The same input gives the same structure and the same path.

Checkable

Each step names its source: the act, the point, the edition and its date.

Private

A cubicle stays with its owner. Only the public law is shared.

005 Measurements

Each model on its own, and with Recansio.

The same models answered the same questions twice. Graders compared every answer with the expected one without knowing which system wrote it.

Correctness

30 client questions in three languages. Majority verdict of three blind graders.

correctpartly rightwrongno answer

Precision

Share of answers that link to the exact paragraph of the law, not just the whole act or a news site. All 42 questions.

Time

Wall-clock time from sending the questions to the final answer, for a model that answers about as well on its own.

Local models can work with legislation

A free 27-billion-parameter model, run offline on a laptop with 64 GB of memory. With Recansio it reads the law and cites it, so the work can stay on your own machine:

  • Product risk assessments
  • Drafting documents and policies
  • Legal research
  • Analysis of the law's metadata: who, what, when, by which act

Questions and answers in any language; the law is read in its official ones.

Showcase implementation

Product risk assessment in a bank

Each department assesses a new product against the law, writes its findings and the mitigating measures. The same work done on Recansio, with every finding tied to its clause. Observed in use, not a controlled benchmark.

006 Plans

One structure, any legal system.

  1. Built

    Uzbekistan

    The full registry, two languages, every edition, updated daily.

  2. Planned · first tests done

    Canada

    Federal acts and regulations, English and French.

  3. Planned

    Kyrgyzstan

    The national registry, Kyrgyz and Russian.

  4. Planned

    France

    Codes and consolidated legislation.

This is a plan, not a commitment. The order and scope may change.
